Analysts at Bernstein Predict Bitcoin To Hit $70K In 2024, Polkadot NFT Minting Soars, KangaMoon Presale Buzzing

Kangamoon

Bernstein analysts have projected a bullish future for Bitcoin, expecting it to soar to $70K by 2024. Meanwhile, Polkadot has set a new NFT minting record. In other developments, KangaMoon's presale is gathering momentum, positioning itself as the best crypto to buy right now. Bitcoin (BTC) Forecasted To Hit $70k in 2024 Bernstein's analysts foresee a bright future for Bitcoin (BTC). They have predicted that its price could surpass $69,000 and hit $70,000 this year. Analysts Gautam Chhugani and Mahika Sapra conveyed their optimism in a message to investors. They stated that the prediction may take time and may not be smooth. In their analysis, the analysts highlighted the $42,000 to $43,000 price range as an optimal entry point. They described it as a "no-regrets price with asymmetric upside." Meanwhile, the analysts pegged their bullish prediction on four key factors. These factors include the high inflow of Bitcoin ETFs, election impact on the US SEC, macroeconomic conditions, and advisor network responses. At the moment, the price of Bitcoin is fluctuating between $41,971.37 and $43,654.52 on the weekly price chart. A rise to $70,000 would signify an increase of 65%. Polkadot (DOT) NFT Minting Sets New Record On February 6th, Polkadot (DOT) marked a major achievement, minting 4,930 NFTs each minute. This sets a new record for minting speed, surpassing the performance of Solana and Polygon. Polkadot achieved this while creating NFTs for the Web3 game "Forever Has Fallen." It used Unique Network, a Polkadot parachain dedicated to composable NFTs. This latest news comes after Polkadot coin reported increased user activity and the number of developers in Q4 2023. Despite the increase in user activity and mining activity on the network, its native token, DOT, is under bearish hold. Data from CoinMarketCap showed that Polkadot coin has dropped 2.8% and 1.4% on the monthly and weekly price charts, respectively. The altcoin is currently fluctuating between $6.58 and $6.99. KangaMoon (KANG) Presale Attracts Investors With the crypto bull run on the way, investors are looking for the best coin to invest in. Luckily for them, KangaMoon (KANG) is making waves as an exciting new venture, poised to launch a unique platform designed specifically for meme coin fans, aiming to bring them together in a single community.

While other memecoins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu bank on hype with little underlying utility, KangaMoon's KANG token differs. Its utility ranges from offering holders exclusive discounts to rewarding them for their participation. This positions KANG as the best coin to invest in. KangaMoon is inviting meme coin fans to join its platform and earn rewards and other benefits. Regarding security, the platform's smart contracts have been examined by SOLIDProof. This is to ensure a safe environment for users. With an eye on the future, KangaMoon is gearing up to introduce many engaging features.

How AI is Transforming Healthcare and Saving Lives

MarketJar

Artificial intelligence (AI) is completely transforming everyday life. From entertainment to transportation, AI is being used to make our lives easier and more efficient. But none of those applications compare to its life-altering impact on healthcare. AI is an absolute game-changer for the healthcare industry, helping save countless lives through precision medicine, robotics-assisted surgery, and connected devices. It’s also becoming increasingly valuable in identifying complex illnesses at an earlier stage. AI-powered diagnostics leverage machine learning algorithms to analyze diverse data like medical records, genetics, and scans for early disease detection by identifying subtle patterns and anomalies often missed by human doctors. AI's rapid and precise data processing highlights subtle health changes, potentially revealing underlying diseases or risk factors. For instance, AI can review mammograms to detect early-stage breast cancer not visible to the naked eye. Over the next five years, the AI healthcare market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 48.1%, jumping from $20.9 billion in 2024 to $148.4 billion by 2029. As Big Pharma companies roll out bold AI plans for the coming years, one company is developing and acquiring technology and clinical expertise to create an AI-driven medical powerhouse that supports doctors, curbs rising healthcare costs and improves patient outcomes. HEALWELL AI Inc. (TSX:AIDX) (OTCQX:HWAIF is a physician-led healthcare technology company that is focused on AI and data science for preventive care. In a whirlwind four months since its debut on the Toronto Stock Exchange, HEALWELL AI has rapidly gained financial strength, securing approximately $29.5 million and firmly establishing itself as a savvy capital allocator in the AI healthcare space after completing two transformative acquisitions. AI Accelerated Preventive Healthcare Late last year, HEALWELL AI secured a majority stake in Pentavere, a globally recognized, award-winning AI healthcare company specializing in identifying eligible patients for approved treatments. With a successful history of real-world evidence studies and key hospital network collaborations, Pentavere's DARWEN™ AI technology carries validation from global pharmaceutical leaders and has garnered recognition in renowned publications worldwide. The Pentavere deal will provide several key benefits including significant top-line revenue growth through Pentavere's established client base and successful commercialization of real-world evidence studies, strong partnerships with major hospital networks in Canada and the US to expand HEALWELL 's market reach and grant access to new patient demographics, and a team of AI engineers with invaluable to fortify the company's technological capabilities. Following the completion of the acquisition, Pentavere introduced DERMAID, an innovative Real-World Evidence (RWE) solution tailored for Dermatologists and life sciences firms. Leveraging the DARWEN™ AI platform, DERMAID extracts actionable clinical insights to enhance patient care decisions in dermatology. The product has quickly gained traction in the market and has already engaged in commercial activities with multiple leading pharmaceutical companies. HEALWELL AI Inc. (TSX:AIDX) (OTCQX:HWAIF also just finalized the acquisition of Intrahealth Systems, a multinational SaaS-based EHR (Electronic Health Record) provider supporting 15,000 clinicians that care for millions of patients in its global network across Canada, Australia and New Zealand. In 2024, Intrahealth is projected to generate over $12 million in revenue, showing double-digit organic growth. Historically, the company has maintained strong financial performance with over 80% gross margins, positive EBITDA, and positive cash flow. Moreover, more than 80% of its revenue comes from recurring sources, which are highly profitable. HEALWELL 's strategic vision involves a deep integration of its cutting-edge AI tools with Intrahealth's platform to pioneer a next-generation AI-powered EHR, aligning with Value-Based Care (VBC) trends and empowering healthcare providers to achieve better health outcomes at reduced costs. HEALWELL has solidified its support structure through a strategic partnership with WELL Health Technologies, the largest clinic group in Canada. WELL Health has invested in each of HEALWELL 's financings, making them the largest shareholder and helping position HEALWELL as a leader in AI-enabled healthcare technology in North America. The alliance between WELL Health and HEALWELL led to the launch of the WELL AI Decision Support service for healthcare providers. This new service is designed to be highly adaptable and is expected to grow over time. Initially, WELL AI Decision Support will enable healthcare providers to accurately identify over 150 complex or rare diseases that are often overlooked by traditional methods. HEALWELL AI is actively pursuing a robust pipeline of potential acquisitions, having evaluated over 100 opportunities to date. Heading into 2024, the company is in talks with various parties to identify new investment and acquisition targets.

Install Solar Panels For 50% Less – Here's How Monalee Is Democratizing Access To Renewable Energy

Monalee

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Solar panels for up to 50% less? Check out how Monalee is revolutionizing the industry here without sacrificing quality and support. Using the sun to power homes requires cutting-edge technology, but you wouldn’t know it from the companies selling solar panels to consumers. Many rely on pushy salesmen, middlemen and drawn-out, complicated processes to get homeowners up and running. There are plenty of reports of salespeople who have little to no knowledge of how solar energy works yet are selling expensive systems to homeowners. It’s not uncommon for them to use misleading and aggressive sales tactics to rake in hefty commissions, often from elderly and low-income consumers who are duped by their bait-and-switch sales pitches. It’s gotten so bad that the Better Business Bureau issued directives warning homeowners of potential scammers. Turning The Solar Industry On Its Head Monalee, a climate tech company that is accelerating the adoption of home solar, storage and EV charging, wants to change that. It's turning the industry on its head with a technology-first approach to selling and installing solar panels. Monalee’s advanced machine learning uses millions of different data points to give customers the best solar design based on their homes and needs. It takes into consideration factors like the direction the roof faces (for example, a roof in the northern hemisphere that faces south will get the most sun and therefore will be the most efficient), and whether there are nearby trees that might provide shade over the panels. Anyone can go to their site, enter their home address and receive an accurate solar quote in less than a minute. Through its state-of-the-art design platform, you know exactly how many panels you’ll need, the best layout to maximize sun exposure and the bottom line cost including discounts and rebates before you sign up. And Monalee does all that at what it says is a steep discount to rivals. By removing salespeople and system designers from the process, Monalee says it’s able to secure the same solar panel systems at half the price compared to the top traditional solar companies in the U.S. In turn, it says it can save customers up to 50% off the total. Consumers get a break without having to sacrifice quality or customer service. Nor do you have to give up peace of mind thanks to the Monalee Guarantee – this ensures the system works as it should for at least 25 years. At the same time, there are real people behind Monalee. Combined, the team has dozens of years in the solar industry under their belts. While Monalee leans on machine learning to streamline the early stages of the process, they are there to coordinate all the in-person appointments and necessary paperwork that needs filing. See How Monalee leverages technology to provide a quick and easy way to get solar panels installed on your roof. To make it even easier for homeowners to install solar panels, the company recently partnered with GoodLeap, the fintech company that provides financing options for residential solar and sustainable home improvements. GoodLeap is just one of the companies Monalee customers can finance their purchases with. Monalee should know a thing or two about giving customers what they want. Founder Walid Halty spent nearly a decade leading sales and marketing at big solar companies before launching Monalee. He knew customers wanted transparent pricing, an easy way to compare options and peace of mind. He also wanted a drama-free process, one that doesn’t take four weeks, the typical lag time between signing a contract and installation. Monalee, which is in 15 states and growing, is doing for solar what Carvana Co. (NYSE: CVNA) did for car buying. Demand For Solar Is Growing The timing seems ideal – the U.S. is aiming for solar to account for 40% of the country’s electricity by 2035 and 45% by 2050. To meet the first goal, it would need to install about 1,000 gigawatts of solar power by 2035. By 2050, solar capacity would need to reach 1,600 gigawatts to achieve a zero-carbon grid. Over the last decade, solar and energy battery storage costs have fallen 85% making it cheaper than coal and other fossil fuels in many instances. The Inflation Reduction Act, which was signed into law in 2022, is also helping. It provides Americans with rebates and tax incentives to electrify their roofs, embrace electric vehicles, install heat pumps and more. As a result of the law, through 2032, homeowners can get a 30% tax credit when they install solar panels on their roofs. All of this hasn’t been lost on Americans, who are increasingly embracing solar as a cheaper and greener way to power their homes. In 2022, the U.S. added 6.4 gigawatts of small-scale solar. It marked the most in a single year, with rooftop installations on homes representing the lion’s share of the activity. Still when compared to Europe, penetration is low. As of 2022, just 4% of single-family homes in the U.S. were equipped with solar panels. It’s no wonder, then, that Monalee reports hundreds of customers had signed up to Monalee within two months of testing the market. Monalee is hoping to further accelerate adoption with its customer-friendly, technology-driven approach. It is taking the middleman out of the equation, offering transparent pricing and bringing solar panels to the masses. To see how much you can save on your energy bill click here.

HIVE Digital Technologies

Hive Digital Technologies CEO Aydin Kilic joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the company's earnings report for the third quarter. Kilic revealed that the company achieved remarkable revenue of $30.1 million during this quarter, primarily attributed to mining 830 Bitcoin.

Kilic highlighted that these figures represent a significant 146% increase in Gross Operating Margin compared to the previous quarter.

Bitcoin To Surge To $70k As Traders Look Forward To the 'Year of the Dragon', Sui and KangaMoon To Lead the Altcoin Rally

Kangamoon

East Asia is preparing to celebrate the start of the Year of the Dragon in the next few weeks. Crypto traders are excited, anticipating a major rally for Bitcoin as the year is considered one of the luckiest and most prosperous animals in the Chinese Zodiac. Ahead of the celebration, Markus Thielen has forecasted that Bitcoin could peak above $70k before the year ends. Meanwhile, two altcoins, Sui (SUI) and KangaMoon (KANG), are gearing up to lead the altcoin market rally in 2024. Markus Thielen Forecasts a Surge To $70,000 for Bitcoin (BTC) Markus Thielen, a famous crypto analyst at 10X Research, predicts that the Bitcoin (BTC) price will rise to $70,000 by the end of the year. This implies a 65% increase over the current $42,500 - $43,000 range, where the Bitcoin price has remained unchanged for more than a week. Thielen depends on his positive projections on strengthening macro conditions, the U.S. elections, monetary tailwinds, and growing demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs. His claims are bolstered by the increasing attitude in the cryptocurrency industry. On February 10, East Asia will begin the Year of the Wood Dragon. Crypto traders anticipate that the crypto market will suffer the same fate as one of the Chinese Zodiac's luckiest and most affluent animals. As the Bitcoin price increases, the altcoin market is expected to surge in 2024. Sui (SUI) TVL Sets New ATH, Price To Follow With the broader crypto market looking bullish, Sui (SUI) is one of the top altcoins that could take advantage. Over the past few months, the Sui network has grown at an incredible rate, with its total value locked (TVL) increasing by more than 1,000%. According to DeFiLlama data, Sui has a TVL of more than $515 million, making it the ninth-largest DeFi project. The growth of the Sui network can be linked to the rapid development of dApps with real-world use cases. With the network continuing to grow, experts expect the Sui coin to soar in 2024. Year-to-date (YTD), Sui has gained more than 100% to trade at the $1.5 range. However, as the network growth continues, a 30% surge to take SUI to a new ATH is expected, making it one of the top altcoins to buy. KangaMoon (KANG) To Dominate the 2024 Altcoin Market Rally In the upcoming altcoin market rally, KangaMoon (KANG) has been picked by experts as one of the top altcoins to watch. Built around an exciting new concept, the KANG token has been predicted to record a parabolic 100x price surge before the year ends. The DeFi project has attracted this kind of prediction because of its unique Social Finance (Social-Fi) network in the works. The platform also combines elements of play-to-earn, NFTs, and meme coins. This Social-Fi ecosystem aims to become the ultimate hub for meme coin enthusiasts. KangaMoon was designed to encourage interaction among meme coin enthusiasts and reward them for their participation. As the players participate in weekly, monthly, and quarterly challenges and special giveaways, they will earn KANG tokens and other rewards. The greater the participation, the more rewards a user stands to earn. The real-world application of KangaMoon has drawn a ton of interest to the project and is why market experts anticipate its launch. Given the 100x predictions, KANG is considered very cheap, as it is only priced at $0.0075 per coin. Discover the Exciting Opportunities of the Kangamoon (KANG) Presale Today!
